My dad made me one when I had a bad case of lyringitis. It knocked me out and I woke up with a very bad headache and stomache ache. He claimed it was what granny made for the family when they were sick with colds or severe coughs.His concotion had a base of tea, a healthy dose of honey, a jigger of rum and a jigger of whisky. couldn't finish the think I think I drank about a 1/4 to a 1/3 of it before I said enough. He made this concotion right before I went to bed. I didn't do much good still woke up not being able to talk and just felt hung over.
